These days we have so many people tuned in to the cell phone networks it’s unbelievable. Right from your local Pan-Wallah to the rickshaw driver to the businessman who commutes in a chauffeur-driven Benz. So we know that manufacturers are making devices to suit all walks of life. But the thing is; what if I'm a bit fussy and want something that’s inexpensive, looks good and manages to meet at least one of my really basic media cravings? Enter Motorola’s RADIOMOTO W209 (no it’s not a Walkman phone rip off!). But let’s see if it meets all the requirements.

Form Factor
The W209 has a very conventional candy-bar design. But in no way does it look conventional. Though it may look like any other Motorola phone, it has a cool, classy, sophisticated look about it. It has a small but legible 128x128 pixel resolution display with 65k colors. Beneath the screen is a 5-way navigation pad. On either side of it, at the top, are 2 "Open" keys that can be assigned to any function. Below them are the answer and end call keys. The key pad has Hindi and English imprinted. And trust me when I tell you, I’ve seen plenty of people who think that’s a godsend.

At the top on the right and left sides are the 2.5mm earphone and charger socket respectively. The rear has, of course the sim card slot that’s underneath the battery.

the messaging on the contrary is quite good, i use the itap and have become quite good at it.
here is how it works to say hello is same as using t9
but to say himanshu type in till the letters are correct if not then just scroll to the correct letter on the left. this stops the dictionary from changing the input till this point.
better than t9 where i had no option but to custom type the entire word..
